Looking for Pain Relief: Any Suggestions?

Thanks for the info Gidgetmom. If you don’t mind me asking, did you have any side effects and are you able to go for walks and function normally now without pain?

I've had 2 SI joint ablation after 2 injections. The ablation last about 2 years for me, although, my ortho Dr says 6 mos to a year is what is expected.

I want the preface this with *I am not a doctor*. Really the only thing that gives me some relief for an hour or so is a self-adjustment my coworker (a chiropractor) taught me. I’ll describe it as best I can: Sit upright in a chair with both feet flat on the floor. You will need a yoga block, a rolled towel, or anything that is about 4-6” and has some “give” when squeezed. Place the object between your knees, and squeeze tightly and quickly. It may take several tries at first, but you should feel a “pop” in your pubic bone. It might hurt for a couple of seconds, but then you should have some relief that spreads into your SI joints. The squeezing action at your knees forces the pubic symphysis joint apart slightly, allowing the SI joints to also move just enough to provide some pressure relief on the nerves. I do this adjustment 2-3 times a day and it does help relieve the pressure I feel in my SI joints. Again, I am NOT a doctor. Hope this helps!
